A few days ago, I started updating Map Rank but I don't think I'll have the time to maintain it in the long run.The reason was the sudden departure of ChipV a few months ago, and it shows that it's normally just 1 person that's responsible for the script.In my view, that's bound to go wrong again, and we should make it easier to share responsibility for the scripts.

If you want that possibility already, just make an account and pm me or something.

Longer term: Eventually, I want to get most (abandoned) scripts up there, along with some examples of how to do things with Greasemonkey or Chrome, or how to interact with the API. Hopefully that will improve the maintainability of the scripts somewhat, and will make it easier for new people to start up scripts.What I'm scared of: No replies here, and no people willing to participate in this idea.

So if you're interested, please post here. I'm also looking for other script creators/maintainers (dwilhelmi, Dako are the only ones who really come to mind actually, along with those who left us: Foxglove, chipv, cspare, yetiC), who are interested in getting their scripts more shared too.

This would make it much easier to submit patches for bugs and new features. I personally want to be able to contribute to some of the scripts (especially the abandoned ones), but I don't want to take responsibility over one. This would also make the scripts more community owned, developed, and maintained which I think would increase the quality, amount, and usage of them.

Thanks, and I've uploaded a modified version of Game Link now, I think it's a good example for other script writers (though actually, I ended up changing quite a lot. But the script was good to begin with, and the idea is still brilliant).

Cool! I'm wondering about how the workflow should be. Fork your repo, then add our own scripts and changes? Then push to the main one? or should we have multiple repos floating around with one place for the official release versions?

Not sure yet, but currently my idea is:I'll keep 1 repo for now, give anyone who wants contributor rights (when someone abuses them, I'll remove that person of course) and if a script is really a new version we could put it somewhere on the CC server, and direct new people to it. Everyone is free to fork though, or submit patches.
